JList navigation (Selection & Focus)

843804May 13 2005 — edited Mar 23 2007

Hi All,

I'm quite new with Swing.

I have a JList that I can navigate down through with the <Up> and <Down> keys.

I want to change the default behaviour so that the arrowkeys does'nt select the element but only highlights it (i.e. painting the element's border).

So in order to select an element, the element has to be highlighted and then <Space> or <Enter> will select the element.

Any help is appreciated

I't has to be compatible with JDK 1.4.x
